I have 51000 miles on my f 150 truck tires Michelin 275/60r20. They look almost new with plenty of tread remaining. Smooth,noise free riding tire. No uneven wearing,no flats, always maintained air pressure. Rotated every 6,000 miles. Very pleased with performance.

Are these new? paper stickers are missing
don't know why 3 different DOT#'s are used. tires don't have the little fingers sticking out I've seen on previous Michelin purchases. Tires very dirty.

Review
These tires ride much better than the ones I replaced. The jury is out on their ability to reduce hydroplaning, which is the reason I purchased them.

Long lasting
Last set I had on suv lasted 84k. Still had 6/32 when I installed new set

Great tires
Smooth and safe ride

One Tough Tire Defender LTX2
Michelin Defenders LTX are a great long lasting tire .I got 73,000 miles on my last set and tires were not worn out yet.I bought a new set of Defenders LTX2 just recently and are rated for 80,000 miles.They are great tires.

update
3 tires replaced rides smooth now always had good service with Michelin tires

One heck of a fantastic tire!
Mitch defender LTX MS2 A 75000 mile warranty. WOW!! The tread dept is totally awesome....The old bias ply L series tire is where you might come close to this tread depth. Instantly noticed a smoother ride and a lot more stability. Railroad tracks were lots better. Stopping distance is much shorter than with my previous tires.

Très satisfait!
Mes pneus Michelin Defender m’ont vraiment impressionné. Le roulement est silencieux, ce qui rend la conduite beaucoup plus agréable, surtout sur de longues distances. L’adhérence est excellente, que ce soit sur route sèche ou mouillée. On sent clairement la qualité de fabrication et la durabilité du produit. En plus, ils offrent une bonne stabilité et une tenue de route. Franchement, un excellent choix pour ceux qui recherchent confort, sécurité et performance au quotidien.
